Flaming Brush 2 and More

Finally, almost 2 months after the last post, a month after left my job. Got myself busy over a few projects ever since.

Flaming Brush 2
The Farstriders
Another event from Battle Bros, this time with Shadespire being the theme of the second event. Got the Farstriders above completed after about 2 weeks after I left. The initial varnishing had some issues, surprisingly, by frosting the models over after the initial application. The bright colours above was a result of washing the models with water, right before taking the photo. Apparently a layer of Lahmian Medium after washing with water helped "fixed" it, after a few test.

Steelheart's Champions
Steelheart's Champions were partially completed some time ago. I took this opportunity to get them completed at the same time with the same scheme as the Farstriders. As seen above, are the frosting damage from Munitorium Varnish. Seems that immediately using without letting the can temperature balanced with the environment temperature caused the frosting, despite having it shaken for 5-10 minutes.

Space Marine Adventures
Space Marine Adventures
Got myself a box of Space Marine Adventures straight from Barnes and Noble since it is not available here locally. 5 models that are part of the Japanese edition of Space Marine Heroes, 4 of them not available in the English version. Got these models painted right after the Flaming Brush models were completed. Initially planned to paint them as Dark Angels but last minute decided otherwise. The Ultramarine Sergeant's helm should probably be in red instead of blue. Probably to be corrected later.

Blackstone Fortress
Obsidius Mallex and the Black Legion

Chaos Beastmen

Rogue Psykers
Blackstone Fortress was a gift to myself over the last Christmas (although someone was suppose to be crossing that off my wish list for me). These models were completed first as they were the closest to the black colour scheme. Despite that, it took a while for the final scheme to be decided as I attempt to replicate Heavy Metal's scheme. Rogue Psykers could probably improve a little more on the skin colour. May just to additional rework on that once all are done.

Coming up next would be Ur-ghuls, Spindle Drone and the Negavolt Cultist which I basecoat white for the very first time. The Ur-ghuls and Spindle Drone are actually completed and the photos should be up soon. Currently they I am waiting for them to dry from the initial application of Lahmian Medium which I am testing out prior to varnishing later with Munitorium Varnish later this weekend.

*updated*
Added the two photos below. This ones had their lighting edited to improve the display. Still need to work more with my photography via the camera phone.

Ur-Ghuls

Spindle Drones

Gah!!! Never manage your blog comments on mobile device. Sorry FourEyedMonster.

With regards to the frosting, it least this time the damage was salvageable.

No worries. I hate frosting and notice it happens a lot with water based ones and less so with lacquer ones.

Hmmm. Lacquer based. Sounds like something interesting to test out. Any recommended brand?
